1ROIMBRIM'S NEW YORi
LETTER.
I don't know what may come afte
us or what a revolution the nex
twenty years may bring forth, bu
ne thing is certain that the las
wenty years have made a greate
,hange in New York City than tli
?receding hundred. It is simpi

here were lovers then and plents

long the street sucking the end of
.n attenuated walking stick, bu,

ould fight for their ,iris if occa
ion required, and who when they
rent to work in their stores and
hops were not ashamed to put on
paper cap and an apron and
weep off the sidewalk or do any
ther necessarv duty. Work was
ot then considered a disgrace and
oys were brought up to believe
at the gods help those who help
iemselves, and that a man's proud
st boast should be that he was
ble to earn his own living. I re
ret to say that this noble ambition
i appear independent, is dying out
2d the highest aspiration of the
odern New York dude is to have
te world believe that somebody

There is a large graveyard on
the western bank of Richiand
Creek, near Mount Willing, in
Edgefield County, which contains
the grave of Sophia Bonham, the
mother of Governor M. L. Bonham.
Her father, Jacob Smith, and her
mother, who was a Butler, together
with hers husband, are all buried
within the same enclosure. A cor
respondent of the Edgefield Chron
icle says: "As I stood by her grave

sight of Barry Wall. Ie can hold
a big round glass in one eye longer
than any other fellow in New
York, and to do that well with your
mouth open on one side as if you
were having a tooth pulled is an
accomnphslshnent which is not to be
sneezed at. It is a melancholy ex

less set than the New York Dudes

face of the earth. They seem to
have no aim in life but to get peo
ple to gaze at them in stupid won.
:c der, at what the tool ki!ler was
doing when such creatures were
allowed to live.
It is with pleasure that I an
nounce that the season of excurs
ions is drawing to a close. The
strict administration of our Excise
)t law on Sunday has a teddency to
drive the dissipated and drinking.
portion of New York and Brooklyn
on the Lord's day. All sorts of
. excursions are improvised to the
neighboring towns, which profit of
course by the hegira from the city.
In fact, there are a great many
places about New York which are
E almost entirely supported by this
Sunday trade Forty or fifty ex
cursions leave here every Sunday.
One advertises "The Wharf Rats
' Coteria," another "The Jumpin'
t Plugs," another --The Saw Me Leg
t Off R:nngers," and from the titles
t you can- form a pretty good idea of
r the quality of the company.
To see one of these excursion
boats start you might imagine that
some States Prison had suddenly
emptied. Riot and drunkenness
> are their general characteristics ;
> fights are frequent and murder not
unusual. There arq also muny res
-pectable people who go on these
Sunday excursions, but as a gen
eral thing they have cause to regret
it. Of late the excursions have
been worse than usual, on account
of the inefficient police protection,
and the almost positive immunity
from punishment. Bands of or
ganized roughs have taken posses
sion of the boats, maiming and
wounding innocent people who op
posed them. The shocking murder
of an inoffensive German, a couple
of weeks ago, on one of these excur
sions has thoroughly aroused the
authorities, and we are in hopes
that, at least, some of these mur
derous ruffians may be brought to
justice.
These bands of Thugs generally
make their head quarters at some
liquor stare, and the chances are
ten to one that it either belongs to
the Alderman of the Ward, or to
some intimate friend of his who
conducts it in his interest. If one
of the gang is arrested, the Alder
man is on hand to go his bail, and
by some hocus pocus the complaint
is pigeon-holed, and that is the last
that is heard of it.
One of the very worst of the '
gang who participated in the mur
der I spoke of was a young ruffian,
who aspired to be a tough ; that is .
to say, one who has downed his 1
man, or in other words, murdi r d '
him. This particular youth was the d
terror of his desperate pals, and
yet when indicated for his terrible
offence, his mother testided witht
tears in her eyes that he was one of 0
the gentlest, sweetest mannered 0
boys that a loving mother ever
had. One of the participants in a
the assassination was a villain by Y
the name of Judge, who as he was
escaping knocked down his female ~
companion, and almost stamped the a]
life out of her with his boot lieels,
And yet, with the moral perversity
of womanhood;, which no fellow can
explain, the poor creature with her ai
head bound up, and her face bruis- Se
ed beyond recognition, was at the ol
ruffian's prison door pleading for P'
his release. Explain the mystery t
who can. It may not be desirable se
or practicable to close the doors of ee
our city, and keep all the people in th
on S3unday; but if these excursions th
are permitted they must be con- st
ducted within the pale of the law. VE
Police protection must be afforded as
them, and if necessary An example fr4
must be made,of these lawless ri
nters, such as we have been called I8
upon to make on several occasions th
before. A few dead "Short Boys" or pe

days after her departure .she en
countered a terrific tornado not far
to the south of Cape Race, and was

enter a thick cloud or rain-storm,
which brooded upon the face of the
deep, and obscured the heavily-la

hour or so the cloud lifted, bat no
President met the anxious eyes of
the gazers, who, in the phrase of
French mariners, "interrogated the
borizon" in search of the missing
object. There was no possibility
of her having run into an iceberg or
come ;nto collision with another
ship ; but against her name in the
undervriter's books were inscribed
those melancholy words which, we
are told, ought never to be em
ployed in connection with a well
built and well-manned craft of any
kind ' foundered at sea." No trace
of her existence were ever found,
ezcept a few spars and part of a
boat believed to have belonged to
her, which were washed ashore af
ter some weeks upon the coast of
North Wales. Among niany other
passengers of note whom she carried
were inclueaed Tyrone. Power, the

BISHOP HUNTINGTON ON MO
- . -RAI .
Why He Prefers Grover Cleveland to James G.
Blaine-Points for Voters.
Among the prominent men of the
country who spend their summers
in the delightful old County of
Hampshire is Bishop Huntington
Af Syracuse, N. Y., who resides for
the summer in -an old-fashioned
farm house somewhat modernized,
n the quaint and historical town of
Eladley. Your reporter had a
very pleasant chat the other day
with this well-known theologian on
he political aspects of the day
While the Bishop's taste and work
to not lead him into polities, yet
ie is a keen observer of what is
roing on in the political world, and
is deductions are made after mas
nre reflection and careful investi
ration. As to hisown position the
3ishop said': "I class myself with
he Independents, for I am in the
Labit of voting according to the
haracter of the men placed in
omination." In reply to a query
a to his opinion of Mr. Blaine he
aid: "Well, I have no desire to
ublish my opinions to the world,
or do I care to hold them back.

ould indeed be deplorable if the
nng men of this nation should be
formed by this election that thseA

Duld be- very depressing should

nored record in speh a way as to O1
come a -deliberate attempt to le
ske his conduct reputable. To -le
the action of those who sneer at 01
a .sttempt to purify the political di

A~s the Bishop spends most of his gr
